A charity is looking for a fresh intake of volunteers in Oswestry area to ensure local services continue to run smoothly over the coming months.

Age UK Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin (Age UK STW) is looking for an additional volunteer to join the team at the day centre at Monkmoor Court, off Middleton Road, on Thursdays, while members of St Martins Day Centre at Cedar Close Community Room, who meet every Tuesday, need a volunteer who would relish the role of organiser.

Heather Osborne, chief executive of Age UK STW, said: “Members attending the day centres look forward to the change of scene.

“Our volunteers ensure the weekly visit to a day centre is spent in good company, with refreshments, a hot meal and activities laid on.

“Our day centres run from 10am until 3pm, so we are looking for volunteers who would be able to commit to this once a week.

“Volunteering with us is a great way to meet like-minded people who are happy to give some of their time to improving the lives of isolated older people in our communities.”
